There can't be that big a question mark ... we already have accurate figures "to within 10%", remember? In any case we automatically cut actual sold numbers by 50% anyway. Evidently we
know the others are garage decorations.
Of course, I stipulate that you are the model of objective debate.
Yes! Hitting those wicked manufacturers hard and fast is both fun and makes us look "objective" and "avid supporters of safety." Let's all kick those wicked, wicked people who delivery to us what we want (when will it be available?). Then we can despise them for allowing us to use the stuff we clamor to get (all eCCRs are crap, remember?). Who cares that we jumped at the chance to purchase what was the latest, coolest gear available to us -- if I screw up I have an enemy to attack and experts ready to help my attorney make me look reasonable in court.

I'm not. You're shadow boxing. Go out and find another 'enemy'.
